Where this road begins is a choice you make, what you see on the journey down it is also your choice. Where it ends is the biggest decision you will make in your life. I personally choose to follow the road to Heaven. Along the way, there will be many curves in the road, many obstacles to go over, but one thing is for certain, Jesus will be waiting for you when it is your time to reach the end.
Philippians 2:8-9 (King James Version) 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name, which is above every name:
1 Corinthians 1:18 (King James Version) 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
It is in the cross that the love of God was manifested to the whole world. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (Jn. 3:16). "But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). "In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him" (1 Jn. 4:9). In particular, the church, as the blood-bought, redeemed institution established by Christ, ought to comprehend the love of God. As Paul reminds us, "Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her" (Eph. 5:25).
During a recent visit to the Valley of Fire, in the Mohave Desert in Nevada, as I was travelling along, out of nowhere appears a white cross.
The first thing that comes to mind is, Yes Jesus is everywhere, even in the middle of the desert. I had to stop and just absorb the beauty and the Precious feeling I was having about the Love the Lord has for us. This cross was to represent someone else’s life, but it reminded me of my own life, and just how we take so many things for granted. This beauty is not here amongst us to just let it go to waste, there is beauty everywhere around us, if only we took time to appreciate it. During this week, I have come across so many miraculous things, rain in the desert, beautiful flowers and trees, deer roaming. Then to come across a cross was all that was missing. Jesus Christ loves us, His love is strong, and He makes your heart smile. God bless and love you my friends!
